LOG pattern not matching

Hi all,

I may not be understanding how the LOG match-pattern works.

In my hobbit-clients.cfg file I have under the DEFAULT section the
following:

        LOG %.* NOTICE
        LOG %.* ERROR
        LOG %.* WARNING COLOR=yellow
        LOG %.* notice COLOR=yellow
        LOG %.* error COLOR=yellow
        LOG %.* daemon.error COLOR=yellow
        LOG %.* warning COLOR=yellow
        LOG %.* warn COLOR=yellow

At the moment on my hobbit server I have a green status for the host mentor
and the following messages in /var/adm/messages:

[msgs:/var/adm/messages]
<...SKIPPED...>

The above is copied from the hobbit display reached by clicking on the
[/var/adm/messages] link on the msgs page for this host.

In the client-local.cfg I have:

[sunos]
log:/var/adm/messages:10240


So why is the page green? There are at least 3 strings that should match to
turn it yellow, right? And incidentally, the BB server I'm running on
another host *does* show yellow. I'm trying to validate my hobbit
configuration by making sure it matches the running BB server. And it
doesn't for msgs, ever.

Thanks,
Steve.
